Well I'm blue-collar branded, and stuck in a mill

Hard work is a way of life for me

Bb5                             Ab5            Eb5           Bb5
Well I'm too young to live like I'm over the hills

       F5         Eb5                Bb5
And too old to be wild and free

My heart is onward bound......I'm rolling with the feeling and i can't slow 
down

F5                                         Bb5
....I need a guiding light......shining down to lead me through the night

Oh, hey my D.J. friend, would you play me one more song

       F5                 Eb5                 Bb5
